Can't access open / arch / x86 / syscalls / syscall_32.tbl

Mistake

Remove the first character /

from your file path (as it should be relative ).

Check file

Now make sure this file exists using the tool file

:

$ file arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl

      

        
        
        
      

    

Print file

If the file exists, you can print it using the cat

or commands less

. For example:.

$ less arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl

      

        
        
        
      

    

You can also open this file in an editor such as. using the command vi

.

If the file is missing

This file comes with the Linux kernel sources. It was added by this commit in kernel 3.3. Therefore, you must be using kernel 3.3 or higher to have this file.

How to load kernel with file syscall_32.tbl

Download the main vanilla kernel sources from kernel.org via Git (using instructions here ):

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
$ cd linux/

      

        
        
        
      

    

Now you have to figure out which version to use. It depends on your task (how you plan to use this kernel further). If it was intended to be used on a Linux Linux distribution, I would say to pick the closest version for your distribution kernel:

$ uname -a

      

        
        
        
      

    

You can see all available versions by issuing the following Git command:

$ git tag

      

        
        
        
      

    

You can now switch to the version of your choice (in the output from the above command). For example. you can switch to v3.3

like this:

$ git checkout v3.3

      

        
        
        
      

    

Switch to version 3.3 or higher and your kernel sources will have a arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl

file:

$ less arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl
